Look, I don't find the romance in this anime to be cute at all.
Literally trying to be cunning and manipulating the person you love into acting a certain way is inappropriate. That's a sign of a toxic relationship. I just can't let these two idiots behave this way and think its okay because they are children. It's troubling. Try having mindgames in like chess or shougi or go instead of, like, human relationships.
Now am I a little bit more sensitive to these tropes because I know how toxic these types of mindsets can be when in an adult relationship? -- yes. yes, I am.
Being secure and honest with each other is good. You know that's good because what I am talking about is what the couple will end up as. They will confess their love to each other and have open communication, etc. So I'm having a hard time understanding why people like this.
Whatever. It fine I guess.
